Historian Louis Adamic in “A Nation of Nations” (1944) refers to the early Armenian settlers and says, “In 1619, the Poles, and their fellow workers of German and Armenian origin went on a strike. They demanded the right to vote and full equality with the other colonists…In a tiny community this was equivalent to a major rebellion, indeed the first consciously political upheaval in America for the purpose of extending rights to the common man. In it men of different backgrounds acted jointly against injustices for the first time in the New World.”
